Duggy’s seems to be the place to take Toyota’s in Houston (they’re going to install the auxiliary fuel tank in my 4Runner when it comes in towards the end of the month). I know they were busy with and closed this weekend for Lonestar Toyota Jamboree, but the owner is really responsive on...

For recovery gear, take a look at Treaty Oak Offroad - it's some of the best recovery gear you can buy and made here in Houston. If you haven't joined already, think about joining the Houston Overland and Texas Overland groups on Facebook. Are you taking your rig to Duggy's Garage?

The C's will give you more sidewall flex when aired down and slightly better gas mileage but the E's give you a thicker sidewall that's less susceptible to punctures. When you're offroading, how much gear to you have loaded? Do you do more rock crawling or running on tight trails with sharp...

Number of times I've run out of gas on the trail: 0 Number of times I've come across someone else that was out of gas: 3 I've started carrying extra gas specifically because of that.

Is your winch line synthetic or steel cable? Most snatch blocks are designed for cable, so the ones on the cheaper side will have gaps between the arms and the pully. If you run synthetic line through that block, there's a chance the line might jump off the pully and get into one of those...

The original Trails did, the new 2021 Trails don't because a locker isn't an option for the SR5.

Correct - the new 2021 Trail is not a resurrection of the Trail Edition that was sold up to 2014. That version has never gone out of production, Toyota simply rebranded it as the TRD Offroad in 2015. This new Trail version for 2021 is only a base-level SR5 in a limited production run heritage...

Ok, just to make sure we're talking about the same thing - are you asking about a used TRD Trail (they changed that trim level name to the TRD Offroad in 2015 after they stopped selling the FJ Cruisers) or a new 2021 Trail edition? If you're talking about the new 2021 Trail, all that package is...

I went with the 180R over the longer 180 because I didn’t want 2 1/2 ft of unsupported awning sticking off the front of the rack like a unicorn horn - it would have been fine under static loads, but I was worried about fatigue after bouncing down washboard roads. Overall, I'm happy with it. We...

@Lifestyle Overland really likes the 21500 GAZELLE G6 PORTABLE GAZEBO 6 SIDES - they used it a bunch in their first season on Youtube during their trip up to the Arctic Circle.

From what I hear, they're the fastest way to air up. My problem with them is the amount of cargo space they take out. If I was just doing day trips where all I really needed to carry was a cooler, I'd consider it. But cargo space becomes a premium item when you take your family of 4 on a week...

If you have a Tacoma, Expedition Essentials sells this mount: Toyota Tacoma Bedside Compressor Mount Or, if you’re not opposed to having the compressor mounted in the engine bay, Rago Fabrication sells this one: 2016-2019 3rd Gen Tacoma Air Compressor Mount They also have one for the Tundra, if...

It’s just simple 1/4” pneumatic tubing running to the wheel wells. The tubing can melt if it gets too hot, so you need to be careful how you run it but it wasn’t terribly complex (they recommend getting a professional installation but I’ve used enough pressure fittings in my jobs that I just...

I use two Velcro soapstone coil all four hoses then slide them into a little carry bag from MSA and then tuck the bag under the driver’s seat. At first, I tried it without the bag, but the levers on the connectors would get snagged on the floor mat or the underside of the seat when I would pull...

I used a portable Viair compressor for my Jeep for about 5 years. It took maybe 15 to 20 minutes to air up my 33s. Not a terribly long time; but when when it’s the end of the day, you’re hot, and the kids are extremely vocal with their desire to get something to eat, those 20 minutes felt a...

Now that the Expo has been canceled for this year, is anyone else shifting their plans to Rendezvous in the Ozarks?

Good deal and if you haven't already seen the 4Runner Owners Registry thread here on this forum you should check it out.

If you haven't already, join the Texas Overland group on Facebook. There are a lot of downloadable route files on there. You might also want to join the Texas 4Runners - tx4r group on Facebook too. There's a fair bit of overlap between those two groups and this one. The tx4r group just had...

Ok, this may be more than you were looking for, but here goes (Please excuse the dust and dirt, detailing hasn't been a top priority for me lately): The mic & radio on the right is a Uniden Pro510XL CB. The mic on the left is for the ham and is installed as follows: The main unit for the ham...
